ON THE COVER
Beach days at the Morrisburg and Iroquois beaches are a staple
of summer recreation programming in the Municipality of South

as seen on the front cover with South Dundas Recreation Staff
Members cheering participants on. Programming for Beach Days is

FAQ with your Tax and Utility Coordinator
Q. How do I get a property tax print out for my income taxes?
A. The best way to ensure you’re ready for income tax season is to keep a copy of your June tax
bill from the previous year. If you have lost or misplaced the bill, copies can be printed by the
Municipality. A $10 fee may be applicable. In some cases, proof of property tax payments can
be printed from your My Tax Account.
Q. Why is there interest being charged on my account?
A. Interest charges mean there is a payment outstanding on your account. Be sure when paying
the June and September installments to double-check the amounts. June’s installment will
include a cent figure, while September’s will not. 1.25 percent penalty or interest is added to
outstanding taxes on the first day of each month until paid.
Q. I’m having my home assessed. How can I see the property assessments of similar homes to mine?
A. The My Tax Account portal offers a property tax look-up without having to log in to an account.
Navigate to Online Services in the top right-hand corner of the page and click the Property Taxes
link. Search by Jur Number, Property ID, Address or Postal Code and see tax information and
assessments from the last three years. This does not include any personal or payment information.

2016 and 2017.
On January 1, 2020, most of these amendments came into effect. These include:
• fire safety measures that include fire prevention and early detection and warning
systems
• structural sufficiency of buildings to withstand external forces and improve
resilience
• water conservation improvements to plumbing fixtures
• public health and safety requirements
• accessibility requirements for barrier-free access
What does this mean?
